Through customized professional development to teachers in hands-on STEAM, AceraEI increased both teachers’ and students’ confidence and engagement, improving overall school culture and climate.
Watch how we did it!
AceraEI partners with public schools to offer 50+ modules in engineering, computer science, robotics, life sciences, makerspace learning, design thinking, and social and emotional learning. Our consultants provide teacher support and mentorship every step of the way.
We help schools and districts achieve their goals: increased teacher satisfaction, retention, and confidence; authentic student engagement and positive attitudes toward STEAM learning; enhanced performance on NGSS assessments and mastery of ISTE standards.
Acera’s Education Inovation initiative grew out of our own lab school, Acera: The Massachusetts School of Science, Creativity and Leadership. Our approach is built around evidence-based pedagogy that results in student growth and creativity via joyful learning.
